Kerry was asked why, if he opposed the war, he agreed to go to Vietnam and fight. He emphasized his reluctance, saying, "I wound up going to Vietnam because in 1965, voicing an objection, as I would have liked to have at that point, would have been, I think, a very futile thing.

1965 ? Is that when he tried to get a 1 year deferrment to study in paris ?

It appears Kerry got a 6 month deferrment in 2/66, so he could graduate in 06/66. He didn't report (To The United States Naval RESERVES) until 08/66.
What's with 1965 ?
